CORPS OF ENGINEERS: ‘HAVE A BOOZE-FREE WEEKEND”

The Army Corps of Engineers says lay off the booze if you’re boating this weekend.  It says drowning is the second-leading cause of accidental deaths.  The Corps suggests you never over-estimate your swimming skills, watch out for colder water this time of year, always wear a life jacket while boating, and be especially careful at the end of your boating day, because  hours of exposure to noise, vibration, sun, glare, and wind produces fatigue in humans that is similar to drunkenness.
